Description

You are walking down a street you don't recognize, the fog slowing your pace to a crawl as darkness blinds you. You pause and look up to see a house; candles flicker in every window, like a beacon. Climbing the few steps to the front door, you realize many years have passed since it was last opened – it has been sealed with rust and purpose. Inexplicably, just as you know the candles are for you, you know someone waits inside. Someone who has remained in that house since before the iron began to rust. They have been patient. Waiting for over two decades. Waiting for you.

Incredible atmosphere, but tedious gameplay

This is the first game of an intended series of horror hidden object games, and unlike similar casual games, this one relies on surprisingly eerie atmosphere and even some bloodier aspects of horror games. We play as a young woman who is trying to learn about her past... and that is pretty much it. Since this is the first episode, it is mostly atmosphere build-up, with only the bonus chapter containing some actual plot. Said atmosphere is especially strong though, better than in most 60-dollar horror titles. Gameplay is problematic though. Backtracking is through the roof and the adventure game aspects have a hefty dose of moon logic. The hidden object scenes are so challenging, players can choose to turn them off completely. This also means that if you want a HOG that is not just a super easy casual breeze-through title, then True Fear will satisfy. A lot.
